Cursor team usage and seat costs.

On team plans with the Admin API, Audon reads members, usage per person and model, and on-demand spend this billing cycle. On individual plans (Pro, Ultra) you upload the usage export from the Cursor dashboard instead.

Credential: Team Admin API key
Where to create it: cursor.com/dashboard → API Keys → New API Key with admin access. Only team admins can create one, on Cursor team plans that include the Admin API (Enterprise).
Without the Admin API: Usage export (CSV) from cursor.com/dashboard → Usage. Individual plans (Pro, Ultra) have no usage API. Export your usage as CSV from the Cursor dashboard and upload it with cursor_import_usage (POST /v1/connections/cursor/import). Upload a newer export at any time; re-uploads replace the days they cover.

Savings levers on Cursor data. Sized on your own spend, each with the exact fix.

Right plan per person
Give each person the cheapest plan that covers how they work: remove, downgrade, upgrade or move to a seat.
Coding model mix
Default coding agents to a cheaper model or the tool’s own model pool; keep the premium model for hard tasks.
Cursor Max mode
Keep Max mode for large, multi-file work; normal mode costs less per token for the rest.
Overlapping tools
People paying for two tools that do the same job: keep the one they use.

A lever writes a potential saving. A change you mark as done is measured from billing; an approved experiment makes it a verified saving.

Good to know.

Only on-demand charges count as Cursor spend. Requests included in the plan cost nothing extra.
Requests made with your team’s own OpenAI or Anthropic key are counted once, under that provider.
Seat fees aren’t in Cursor’s API: add your plan under Settings → Subscriptions.
